This week I tackled banana bread.
Tackled?
How hard can banana bread be? You ask yourself.
Well, you have to understand that Meeker’s sister makes the best banana bread you’ve ever had. And kind of like his mom’s lasagna, I don’t touch those recipes. I don’t want them to be compared to mine (which they inevitably will) and fall short.
So until now, I’ve left the banana bread and the lasagna up to his side of the family.
Until now.
After cutting a slice, I rushed it over to Meeker insisting that he be the first to try it. Assuring him that I wouldn’t be offended if he didn’t like it as much as his sister’s (yeah right). He didn’t have to know this was gluten-free banana bread made with agave.
I went back to the kitchen and pretended not to pay any attention to him.
Until he sweetly requested that I bring him another slice.
And that’s when I heard it…
This is the best banana bread I’ve ever had.
looks like you DOMINATED that banana bread!
haha, love it. naner bread is one of my favorite things in life ever
Victory!
My mother has an amazing recipe – I would never dare use another one! I like to think I make it as well as she does
those tried and true recipes are always the best!
YAY! That banana bread really does look awesome. I think Meeker’s statement alone should be enough for Babycakes to go off on and hire you!!
Agreed. You swing by there and convince them to hire me promoting there recipes from my CO kitchen!
Haha no way! That’s the only incentive I have to dangle in front of you to make you move here! OR – maybe we should franchise out Babycakes and open one in Colorado and then we can be neighbors and play together every day!!
Haha SUCCESS! It was the same thing for me and chocolate chip cookies with Penpal.
He’s just lying to make you feel better. No one touches sister’s banana bread!
Also, you smell.
Well, then you don’t get any. And you smell worse.
You both smell…but Katie smells like roses (and vegetables) and Robby smells like an ass.
I have a no fail banana bread recipe I go to as well….once you find one you like you never go back!
Success! I felt the same way about my mom’s chocolate chip cookies until she shared her secrets with me. Now everyone asks me how I make them
this post just gave me a huge smile. congratulations!!!
Banana bread sound amazing right now. Yum!
Wow. That banana bread must be good if Meeker admitted that it is better than his sister’s!
I need to get that cookbook! I am thinking about going gluten free and the sugar free thing is awesome too!
[...] you don’t feel like clicking over to read it. It was a guest post written by Katie from Yes, I Want Cake and it was titled “Baby Bounce Back”. I’d never read Katie’s blog, so [...]
What book is that recipe from??
It’s called Babycakes and it comes from the Babycakes Bakery in NYC…it’s a great cookbook, lots of gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free treats in there! I’ve been featuring a recipe from it each Friday and every single one of them has been awesome!
Sweet victory! Banana bread is one of my favorite quick breads and yours definitely looks amazing. I love that it’s gluten free and made with agave.
yayyy! I must check out the Babycakes book! I keep eyeing it in the book shop but I’m secretly waiting for a gift voucher so I can snap it up!
Woohoo! I love experimenting with recipes and finding that people love them more than the original. Such a great feeling.
And I totally would have asked for a second slice too. Just sayin’.
WAY TO GO!!!!
Woo hoo victory is yours!
Mmmm, love a good banana bread. Cooking Light also has a fabulous recipe. But really, can you go wrong?
Banana bread is the best creation ever! That looks amazing!
